Likely you have a custom HOSTS file created by antivirus or internet security software that is redirecting the IP and breaking the link from resolving.

Hi

I have Bullguard which came with the PC - it is antivirus and firewall. Have tried turning them off and opening the links before, but still the same problem! so turned them back on

25th Feb 2009

hmmmm...... never used bullguard ........ gonna do a google on this problem

If you check there how to find the file (depends what OS you are running) then find it, open it up and see if it has any entries. If it has loads of entries that is likely your problem. Post back here and someone can help.

Hi Kaits

The first link did not work, and the second link did...and Sheilas Wheels was the site I was trying to access via quidco lol!

25th Feb 2009

it's definitely not a DNS issue something is wrong with the clicktracking. So maybe you need to contact Quidco mention this so they can see. Have you had this problem with tracking deals before?

Yes have had this issue a couple of times - and also when clicking on links on offer of the day - such as a twin tub washing machine at argos which is on the todays best link...the link takes me here tkqlhce.com/int…ive?sid=org&url=http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/0198541/c_1/1|category_root|Sports+and+leisure|10199392/c_2/2|cat_10199392|Camping+and+caravanning|10199393/c_3/3|cat_10199393|Other+camping+accessories|10199408.htm&pid=2010640&aid=10294381&cjsku=5363003

with an error message

Also, if you search for something on google via ie, you usually get a couple of sponsored links at top of page, I cannot open thos nor the links on the side of the page
